Looking for a copy of Dev 1.63.137431 build, to test why I had such great FPS with it and my GPU was running great too. Since then back to same performance I had. Didn't make a backup of the folder before I updated it to next build. So I'm hoping someone will have it and let me dl it please. thanks

Wow really? yeah your right I don't know anything and my software is broken too. But hey I'm getting 90 FPS + so I'm happy, unlike some "grumpy old man" like you. :lol:

The GPU usage in the 1.63.137431 is 522 at Idle (desktop) in-game it's 928. I also I'm getting 95-110 fps online , so yeah that shows usage of the GPU after you start the launcher. My in game FPS are over the top too, but that's what started the problem when I posted the screen shot of it. Everyone started freaking out, cause it shows my FPS double that of the server. So of course all I got then was that's impossible, cause I don't get that, or its of the ground ( which makes no sense ) or join this server ans see what you get. Your lying, it's Photoshop, fake pictures, etc.. If your GPU isn't working your game is only using the videocard memory (Arma3), but If your GPU meter shows usage ( ETS2, ATS, GTA V, HITMAN 47) that means the game is using the Graphic Processor Unit on your videocard. If I'm wrong, then all anyone has to do is post screen shots of their videocard monitoring software showing the GPU, Memory, and Fan Speed. With the Arma3 Launcher running with each version. Not moving, or already showing GPU usage. That's very simple to do, however it's easier for people to just post negative comments without showing their results here or on Steam. One problem people are having with monitoring their card is Nvidia doesn't proved any software. So that is why I can with my ATI Radeon R9 so easy. Thanks for at least believing me, bro. :)

That's why I took the time to make screen shots of each version running with my videocard software running. It only is the DEV 1.63 that's giving me the performance gain. Nothing with 1.60, or the RC 1.62. Even check after the 5 gig update this morning and still the same. The screen shots don't lie, it's running with the GPU in 1.63 only. Frame rates are double, on all servers. But what happened in the build I'm not sure. I didn't change anything on my pc again from yesterday morning to when I did the update in the afternoon. But you would only see this f you opened your control panel for your videocard and monitor the GPU, Memory, and Fan Speed, while starting and running Arma3.

Ah come on seriously, I can't be the only one who's GPU just started working in Arma3 dev. That doesn't make sense that it's just my pc. It didn't do it yesterday and I know that is the one thing everyone ( including me) complained most about. So you are telling me you use a ATI R9 390 8 gig ddr5 videocard or some other ATI card, and nothing is happening when you start the dev build released today? If you are using a Nvidia GPU videocard instead, then this would be something BI would want to check out for sure. I'm just reporting here what is going on while running all three versions on the same pc. I've even been accused of using Photoshop to doctor the screenshots (which I'm clueless how to do) why I even would I'm not sure either. Peace :huh:

If that was the case why is my GPU now working in Arma3. You must not have looked close enough at the Steam post. The fan speed only increased by 7%. But the GPU is idle in both 1.60 and 1.62 RC and then idle's at 522 when I start the 1.63 launcher. Then jump's to 928 in multiplayer, but only in the DEV version. That is not my imagination, or drugs, or something I never noticed before in 4000 hrs of playing this version of Arma. Just posted what I noticed, and not interested in proving it right or wrong. That's for BI to do. :D

Has anyone else noticed the GPU usage is now showing since the update this afternoon I opened my AMD Software that came with my AMD R9 390 and I've increased my FPS in multiplayer from 35-50 fps to 70-100+ fps. Made a post in the Steam discussions showing my GPU usage running 1.60 (none) 1.62 Apex Preview (none) Dev 1.63.137431(525) desktop and 928 in multiplayer. So if this wasn't something BI did then I'm puzzled as I'm using same video drivers since June1. The only thing I notice in the DEV Log was Tweaked: The analytics settings was reset due to a new version of config with an upgraded formatSo if anyone else notices this let me know what you see between the builds as of today. http://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/0/365172547941322551/

How to run Apex Preview and Keep Main Branch
danktech replied to danktech's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
I made my guide two days before BI did. If anything they looked at mine and just made a few changes. I just didn't post it here before today. But no problem with them taking credit for it. :) -
This is a quick guide on how to run both version of Arma3 ( main branch and Apex Sneak Preview Build ) on your computer. I already posted this on Steam (two days before BI posted theirs here), so no I didn't steal it from them. I should have posted it here too at the same time. I'm running all of the builds by making a new folder for the development after I opted into the Apex build. Then downloaded it and made a desktop shortcut to run it, same with the RC 1.62. Of course after the Apex release you will have to make some changes to remove the 1.60 main folder as it won't be needed anymore, along with the RC 1.62 folder. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700516587 If you don't feel comfortable doing this, then PLEASE DON'T. I have no problem doing this as it's how I've run the different version (using Arma3 Tools) until Steam caused the issue with Apex not being recognize if you had the Development build. So the only way around this was the Apex Sneak Preview, which allow people to use Apex with the DEV 1.63 (again if you opt into the preview. Which means good-bye to playing regular Arma3 unless you download the 15 gig again.

I was testing the single player mission I'm working on yesterday. The female character I was using to my surprise said in an american voice "what is your position"? At first I thought it was a friend watching my live broadcast. But when it happened again I asked her if she was talking in TS and messing with me. As it turns out it's the AI speaking to her squad. I didn't think you had added the female voices, but for sure mine are talking ( thank god not all at once ). So my question is did you do this? If not could it be the ASR AI3 mod? Or is it something in Eden? I did notice that when I placed two A-10 on the flight line with 65 for their skill level. When I start the mission, either single or MP they start up their planes taxi out and take off. They patrol around the air base without any problems. I didn't script, set triggers, nothing. I also noticed all the other AI acting very smart. I'll make a video with the female AI speaking and put it up on my uTube and post the link here. Thanks again for all the great work on this mod.

First thanks for all the hard work you have done on the mod. I served for 6 years in the US Army, and 14 in the US Air Force and being around women was a part of daily life. So playing Arma3 without females in the armed forces of any country in 2035 does seem unreal. I know a few women who play and would like to see this on more servers. So I decided to make a mission with both male and female slots. I never used Eden and only used the 2d editor last year to make a basic training map for new arma3 players. I read everything you have posted and so far have made 6 female players that work great in both single ( your are squad leader ) and multiplayer with slots for both male and female ( marked with -F ) players. Here is a screen shot of my Femme' Fatales I've made for arma3. I use Ace, all the CUP mods, RHS, TFAR, IdentZee, Femal3 faces and uniforms.
